tBBC Radio Hour: The Business of Amateurs

Back to back days, with guests in different area codes? How do they do it? That's simple. Magic. MaliBuckeye and I are at it again this afternoon, as we are joined by award winning film maker Bob DeMars to talk about his upcoming documentary "The Business of Amateurs." Mali and I talk to Bob about the state of college football and the definition of the student athlete, plus the great work he is putting into this documentary and how he would fix the current issues in the college football landscape and the issues that scholarship athletes face. We highly recommend you check out the trailer to his upcoming project before listening to the show. Feel Free to view that below. Bob is an award-winning filmmaker with over a decade of experience producing, writing, and directing. In 2009 he produced his first documentary “Adjust Your Color: The Truth of Petey Greene”, which was narrated by Don Cheadle. The film was distributed by PBS’s “Independent Lens” and went on to win the program’s Audience Award for the year. He received his degree from USC's Marshall School of Business. He played defensive end for USC from three different head coaches at USC from 1997-2001. We also invite you to check out the "Business of Amateurs" Kickstarter page, where over 20,000 dollars have already been raised to defray post production and traveling costs. Thanks to Bob for joining us. Enjoy the show!
